The next time your local liberal professor defends the lack of intellectual or political diversity in the academy with claims that conservatives are too stupid to be college professors, you might want to point them to this article in the Miami Herald. When the Nigerian government e-mailed University of Miami law professor Enrique Fernandez-Barros for […]

Today's New York Times "Week in Review" section has a useful Q&A on the Social Security issue -- maybe Paul Krugman should read it. Q. People are throwing around doomsday years for Social Security. Is it really running out of money? A. Not any time soon. The system currently takes in far more in payroll […]

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has returned from his all-too-brief vacation to read a book with what promises to be a series of articles arguing that Social Security is not in trouble, and everything will be OK for 100+ years to come.
